In one corner of the (rather ugly) Penn medical campus is a lovely pocket park, with many trees, paths, and a pond. It is the highlight of my walk to and from work, and an oasis for many who work in the area.
Alas, to Penn, it is land without a building on it, and they have been nibbling at the edges of the park for decades--it's about 50 feet smaller than it was when I arrived 32 years ago. Another building is about to go up, and this scene saddened me on my way to work last week. By the time I went home, the 60-year-old gingko and hemlock were gone (along with a huge, wonderful holly tree out of the frame), and only a few logs and a pile of wood chips remained. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17629070&size=lgd or http://gallery.photo.net/photo/17629070-lg.jpg Rick -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
